are what are needed for fence sitters like me to take the plunge

A basic uhd player without HDR , Dolby vision blah blah will do just fine for me

I guess it's a case that if they don't charge a fortune to recoup the cost of their top of the line technology, they will never be able to drip down the technology into cheaper lines that penniless skinflints like me can afford.

Ridiculous especially if it cannot play Sacds.

It's competing with Oppo 205 at cheaper price point. It has a dedicated audio power supply, high-performance digital/analogue converter, dual-layer vibration-reducing chassis, newly-developed drive base, 7.1 analogue audio and balanced XLR outputs. If you don't have SACD and DVD-A collection, this may appeal more over the Oppo.

For the vast majority who will connect via HDMI, its cheaper siblings are available to buy.
